You can instantly spot a Chanel woman, so I want to develop the Dior woman.

The Chanel woman? I don't even need to see; I smell her from round the corner.

In the nineties, it was common to see people who expressed themselves through one designer - the Jil Sander woman, the Martin Margiela woman. You saw her on the street, and you knew who she was.

My challenge is to find a beautiful balance: to make women beautiful, to make a woman dream to wear a beautiful outfit.

You cannot have adoration without being criticized.

My point of view is that if I love a certain kind of beauty, I want more of that beauty. I don't need 200 different beauties.
